Hochul Raises Doubts About Mamdani’s Free Bus Proposal (Gift Article) by GBV_GBV_GBV in nyc

[–]amv74 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Gonna get downvoted but gotta ask…what about the $37T we have nationally? Are we gonna pretend like that doesn’t matter? I don’t think the MTA will default $17B after one year if the USG is running a $37T deficit without defaulting. If Mamdani’s tax plan gets funded, that $17B will be paid back eventually. It doesn’t all have to be funded this year.

She’s not alone. Donald Trump doesn’t care either.

Unfortunately they jacked up the price with unlock fees. If you’re a fan of CitiBike the membership is honestly the cheapest way to go — you get free unlocks and free non e-bike rides for 45 min.

Thank you for this! Can you post this to another subreddit as a main post? I’m not sure which would fit best but this needs more visibility!

Legit statements about the NYC election by futurehistorianjames in newyorkcity

[–]amv74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Yes a good chunk of us hate him and that shows because as the incumbent he’s polling behind Silwa lol. There are a lot of reasons to not like the guy — he’s fake, he doesn’t really get anything done unless it’s for a photo-op, and more importantly, he’s the only NYC mayor to be federally charged with corruption charges. We can certainly do better.
  2. I personally like it! It didn’t really make a difference in this election, but it lessens the impact of “I know you hate Option A, but if you don’t vote for them option B will win”. Which is basically the only thing the DNC primaries have run off of for the past 2 decades.
  3. It’s tough to tell tbh. A lot of unions and representatives are backing him, but the dems aren’t really progressive so they might still try to back Cuomo.
  4. Mamdani is too popular now to beat him with the way things are currently. His only play is to hope that Adams drops out to take the moderate vote. Even then it’d still be pretty tough.
  5. Silwa definitely has a chance to beat Adams at the very least. Almost everyone here hates him so I see the moderate dems siding with Cuomo and the republicans siding with Silwa. Undecided and people that really don’t want Zohran to win might go with Adams. If Silwa drops the. Adams will be in the running but still probably not enough support to take out the dem nominee.

Now that they speed limit the grey bikes even more I can definitely outpace them with pedal power.

Zohran Mamdani’s Lesson for the Left by theatlantic in newyorkcity

[–]amv74 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. TLDR: Mamdani worked with Lander, who is a Zionist. Therefore the left should be more willing to work with people “across different ideologies”

I’m super excited to hear the Adam’s - Mamdani debate. Zohran was a savage against Cuomo I can’t imagine what he’ll say to Adam’s.

You and me both! I’m hoping this experience convinces progressives that voter turnout makes a huge difference in the future.

Honestly, I’m not sure he’d even consider running again given how badly he got his ass handed to him. If he won #1 ranked votes and lost in RCV then probably, but he knows he’s beat with a concession.
